The wait for new Morrissey is over.

The former Smiths frontman is now streaming his 10th solo album, “World Peace Is None of Your Business,” his first in five years. The LP features 12 tracks and quintessential Morrissey song titles like “Earth Is the Loneliest Planet,” “Neal Cassady Drops Dead,” and “Kick the Bride Down the Aisle.” The music itself also should satiate his longtime, passionate fanbase – the cuts are a mix of moody rockers and folk-tinged numbers that showcase his never-aging voice.

Morrissey recently made headlines for canceling his arena tour, due to a bout of illness that sent him to the hospital. He allegedly contacted a virus from his opener, Kristeen Young, who he abruptly booted off the tour. No makeup dates have been scheduled so far.

Because nothing with Morrissey is ever traditional, the “World Peace” roll-out over the last few months have featured odd spoken-word videos in lieu of music, with former “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson appearing in the title track clip.
